Owies! No one should get hurt setting up a tree. Prayers for him.
Hopefully some one gave him a grabbie tool for christmas.

He and you have my sympathies. A good friend did the same when he fell at the end of November and it really has taken its toll on him and his wife. I hope they can at least sort out the pain which seems to a be a primary issue. 🙏

@FreddieUK THANK you, my friend. I JUST spoke with him. He has been given some very wonderful pain meds, but he said that his KNEE is the worst problem. The soft tissues all around the knee have swollen very painfully, and it sets him back in his physical therapy. ALL the MRI's can find nothing wrong with the knee at all...just that inexplicable swelling.

He says he has one of those UP walkers, which allow him to walk while taking the weight off the affected knee...so THAT is a good thing.
